Do you have shell access ? If you do, then the tables are called wp_posts, wp_post2cat and wp_postmeta. The table structure (and even the names) will make it easy for you to figure out which records to delete from which tables.

I’m kinda nervous giving you this information because I may be telling you enough to make yourself dangerous (you could really mess up your WP installation).

I would offer to delete them for you, but I don’t want you to give me shell access to your machine.

You could just trash them directly via mysql or some other sql interface.

That just doesn’t sound like something that WP can do without alot of hacking.

Yeah, it’s a google thing. Google will try to detect (sometimes inaccurately) how many ads are on your page and decide not display any more. That’s why you see a blank where your second set of ads are supposed to be.

To do what you want, you just need to install MU.

Currently, MU has a subset of the capabilities that WP has. i.e. users can not use plugins other than what the admin has allowed (for obvious reasons).

Try this:

<?php wp_list_cats('hierarchical=true') ?>

instead of

<?php list_cats() ?>

If you’re not crazy about making the change yourself, mail me your theme (or tell me where I can download it) and I’ll make the change for you.

Check out my site to see it in action:

Agreed.

My blog’s main page:

* NO cache
** 14 requests/second
** average 6.8 seconds per request
** 100% CPU usage

* With cache
** 23 requests/second
** average 3 seconds per request
** 5% CPU usage

this test was performed with ab at concurrency of 100 for 500 requests.

With wp-cache, you don’t see much improvement under normal circumstances, but under load, there’s a world of difference (see the CPU usage).

I dunno about typical, but my blog config/theme/plugins uses 18 queries.

Can you post a url to your blog ?

You could also look into caching your pages (if you can live with a X minute delay). Check out the wp-cache plugin.

Edit: moshu beat me to suggesting the wp-cache plugin.

Not sure, but it may help if you didn’t have so many posts/articles on one page.

Break it up into 10 article/post pages.

Edit: your site is already pretty bare-bones. Maybe it’s time to get your own server ?

?? I wish I had something worth copying.

moshu is right. Once the image is on their computer, there’s nothing preventing them from just saving it off.

So, you just don’t ever let them have access to the image.

I’ve seen people use flash image viewers in an attempt to prevent people from copying the images.

I checked out the site and unless I’m missing something, the “light” in lightpress means “optimized.” It’s supposed to be faster, leaner than wordpress.

There’s an attempt to make it work on lighttpd, but that’s still in development stages.

I’d be concerned about plugin compatibility.

Having said that, I would be very interested in a lightpress mu.

Here’s a link with instructions for fixing the problem.

If you’re not comfortable with making the changes yourself, email me and I’ll make the change for you (5 minutes).

I have a “highly customized” version of the file that needs to be fixed so it wouldn’t do anybody any good for me to just post the file with my changes.
